Clean, surprisingly spacious rooms with updated features while still preserving bit of San Francisco's architectural charm. At the corner of Fillmore and Lombard, it's an excellent location for enjoying the Marina district, Presidio, Fort Mason, etc. I expected it to be noisy, given that the Fillmore is quite lively at night, but it wasn't noticeable from our room. Free parking in that area is definitely a bonus. The underground gated garage was clean and well-lit. It was easy to park a compact car, but might be a tight fit for larger vehicles when mostly full.

I liked that the inn was nearby a lot of dining options. It’s really well located near restaurants. For those who are going for the night scene, definitely convenient as there are a few options across the street. Otherwise, everything else wasn’t as expected. First, the staff isn’t friendly nor welcoming. I smiled at them a few times with no smile back. On a couple occasions, I could see the front desk lady staring at us as loaded everyone up, my dad who’s in a wheelchair and infant daughter. I smiled back after the awkward realization we were being watched but received no smile or acknowledgment of my wave. Secondly, the hot water all over the building was out. We didn’t get notified and when called the person on the other phone couldn’t really give us any information other than we called to get it fixed and it should be fixed later. With an added comment along the lines of “you know, these things happen” they didnt even offer a late check out or apology. They also made my friend move her car so someone else could park in the parking spot by the front desk. She was well within her right as she parked there with an suv and the other driver had a pick up, but really!? They didn’t offer her another spot within the building. Lastly, at night, the front desk lady allowed guest to park in the main entrance and I couldn’t get to the handicap parking spot that I needed for my dad. I had to drive around the block and drop him off on the side. I won’t be staying here again.

Worth staying & will come back again!

This was a great 2 night stay! I will definitely come back again! - The hotel is located in a great area with restaurants, bars and ways to get around the city. We walked everywhere. - The room was spacious, clean, and had an air conditioner - Parking was free & is located in a garage below the hotel - You need key access to enter the parking garage & elevator, which made us feel safe. - There is NO refrigerator but they did have an ice machine on the floor - Staff was nice and had everything ready for us when we arrived.

Rooms and hotel in need of a renovation. Only one chair in the room. Desk did not have a desk chair, missing furniture was unexpected. One small bar of soap was only amenity in bathroom. The in shower pump for shower gel was empty. Hair in the bath tub. Worst thing is our room faced the back alley, which is next door to a post office. All day and night constantly hearing trucks running, unloading, banging, yelling, never stopped for 5 minutes. We didn't get any sleep. Ask for a room away from the alley.
